The SINTESI 400 olive oil processing system comprises a knives crusher unit with a mechanical speed change gear on the olives feeding auger, a 250 mm diameter grid with cleaner, a vertical malaxer, and an electric panel complete with temperature controller and printer.

Produce the best olive oil you can with an Oliomio Sintesi vacuum olive oil extraction machine.

The Sintesi's low-oxidation, vertical malaxing tanks minimise the paste's exposure to environmental factors which lower quality by causing oxidative stress, maintaining the quality of your oil as much as possible.
  
The Oliomio SINTESI series are fully self contained.  The inclusion of a knife crusher, low oxidation malaxer and 2 phase decanter to takes processing to another level in ensuring quality is paramount.






The crusher is fitted with knives and has a screen of 150mm diameter.  The outside of the screen is mounted with a cleaning scraper and the inverter controls the speed at which you can control paste fineness during processing.


The paste falls to a low oxidation malaxer which excludes as much air as possible which in turn reduces oxidation levels.  A heating jacket is fitted to the malaxing tank and is operated by an electronic controller.  The T Controller allows you to print temperatures and output of the machine.




The Sintesi is designed to allow easy daily cleaning which is important when you want to obtain the best possible product.

Olive Oil Extraction: Investing in the Right Equipment for Quality Production

OLIVE OIL PROCESSING

Olive Oil Extraction & Investing in the Right Equipment for Quality Production

For businesses and serious growers considering olive oil extraction, the idea of owning a machine for under $10,000 may seem like an attractive entry point. However, achieving high-quality olive oil requires advanced extraction technology that meets food-grade standards. The extraction process is highly technical, demanding specialised equipment to maintain oil integrity and efficiency. This guide will help you understand the essential components of olive oil processing, the investment required, and the best options for entering the market.

The Technology Behind High-Quality Olive Oil Extraction

Many low-cost machines marketed for oil extraction—often priced around $2,000—are screw presses designed for seed and nut oils. These do not meet the requirements for proper olive oil extraction. Producing premium extra virgin olive oil requires specialised machinery that includes:

  • Crushing Systems – Designed to handle the hard-pitted structure of olives while maintaining a low processing temperature to preserve oil quality.
  • Malaxation Tanks – Controlled mixing at precise temperatures allows natural enzymes to release oil from the olive paste while preventing oxidation.
  • Centrifugal Separation – Essential for separating oil, water, and solids efficiently to ensure high yield and purity.

Without these advanced components, it is impossible to produce high-quality olive oil that meets commercial standards.

Breaking Down the Olive Oil Extraction Process

1. Crushing: The First Step to Extraction

  • Requires high-strength crushers to break down tough olive pits.
  • Must operate at low temperatures to preserve the oil’s sensory and nutritional properties.
  • Ensures paste consistency for effective malaxation.

2. Malaxation: Controlling Time & Temperature

  • A slow, controlled mixing process that activates natural enzymes. 
  • Requires low-velocity mixing with high torque to prevent excess oxygen exposure. 
  • Essential for maximizing oil yield and quality.

3. Centrifugal Separation: The Final Stage

  • Uses a decanter centrifuge to separate oil from water and solids. 
  •  A crucial step for achieving purity and optimal extraction efficiency.

Each of these stages demands industrial-grade technology, making low-cost extraction machines impractical for producing high-quality olive oil.

How to Get Started with Olive Oil Extraction

Option 1: Invest in a Professional-Grade Machine – The Frantoino Olive Oil Press

For those serious about maintaining full control over their production, the Frantoino Olive Oil Press is an excellent entry-level option. With a processing capacity of up to 50kg per hour, it delivers professional-quality results in a compact and efficient design. Owning your own machine ensures complete flexibility and control over your olive oil production.

Option 2: Purchase a Pre-Owned Olive Oil Press

f you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative, buying a used machine can provide savings while still allowing you to own your equipment. Though used machines can be harder to source, platforms such as Olive Machinery list available second-hand units.

Option 3: Use a Commercial Olive Processing Service

For those not ready to invest in machinery, a local processing facility provides access to high-grade extraction equipment without the capital investment. To find a processor near you, use The Olive Centre’s Processor Map.

Conclusion: Finding the Right Solution for Your Scale Of Olive Oil Production

Producing high-quality olive oil requires investment in the right equipment and processes. Whether you choose to own a professional machine like the Frantoino, explore second-hand options, or utilise a local processing service, there are solutions to suit different business needs. For those prioritising full control and flexibility, investing in specialized extraction equipment is the best path forward. However, used equipment and local processors provide accessible alternatives for those looking to test the market before committing to a larger investment.
